9/1

Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 8 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, good, 12/1) 16 days ago. Not discounted back on the AW having shaped fairly well when runner-up on debut at Chelmsford in May.

Form: 25

14/1

20/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Possible that she'll be seen in a better light now returned to the AW, albeit this will be her first run on polytrack.

Form: 423-448

Starstriker^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Ferguson| OR: 69

5/6

Fair filly. Hooded, first run since leaving Wesley A. Ward when second of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good) on UK debut 16 days ago, running on. Will take the beating.

Form: 65-2

Forecasts

Starstriker (5/6), Alexi Boy (13/8), Make Clear (9/1), Megan Moon (14/1), Poseidon Prince (28/1), Rhodium (100/1), Kwiz (100/1), Ank Marvin (100/1)

US import STARSTRIKER went down narrowly on her recent British debut at Windsor and a mere reproduction of that should suffice here from the plum draw. It's fair to say that Alexi Boy failed to measure up to market expectations on his introduction for Alice Haynes at Leicester last month but he should be sharper now and may emerge as the main danger. Make Clear and Megan Moon can do battle for minor honours.
